29/05/2025: Good local pub with friendly staff

23/09/2025: This was the perfect place for this Philadelphian! While an old traditional Irish pub, the wall was lined with Philly team hats! Pat the owner/bartender was very pleasant and personable, as we're all the friendly people I encountered there. This is a quiet but friendly bar and was perfect for my travel companion (who grew up up the street) and myself to sit at a table for personal discussions or at the bar to meet new folks. Weather did not permit, but there was an outside beer garden too! While visiting one evening,the back room broke out in Irish singing.. loved it. They do not serve food.

25/12/2025: One of the young lads servicing on Christmas Eve was very rude

06/05/2026: The food was really good and a nice pint. Staff were helpful and friendly

05/04/2026: We had a great stop during our roadtrip here today for Easter and ate the best aubergine lasagne ever. The food has a great cost-quality/quantity ratio. And the young guy who served us was so nice!

13/12/2025: This place felt like home. Live music, great service, cold beer. Graham the bartender really made us feel welcome. This was our favorite pub on our entire roadtrip on the Wild Atlantic Way

09/11/2025: Excellent Amaretto Sour. Place was cosy and friendly.

12/12/2025: Old world Irish pub. Management and staff always up for a bit of fun. Owner constantly trying to accomadate everyone and groups including organising outside food for partys/Hen/Stags. Great spot for watching sports and again if multiple games on at same time staff will try and have it on one of the multiple tv's.

08/12/2025: Nice local pub in Ballina. I'll definitely be back while in town

05/04/2026: They do takeaway only. We were there on Friday evening and the place is packed. Food took about 20 mins to come out. We learned some people ordered online and come to pick up, so they don't have to wait long. I feel the fish, chips, chicken goujons and onion rings are of the better quality chipper. Does not come out too greasy. What I am impressed we got 2 battered sausages and they used breakfast sausages instead of hod dogs that I'm used to seeing.

03/03/2026: Best chips in town. Love the curry sauce! Hard to beat. Love this place.
